ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH LAWRENCE JOHNSON
"We're really excited about the Big West Championships this weekend. Santa Barbara has a newly resurfaced facility and from everything I've heard from the other coaches it's a fantastic facility and a great venue for the Big West Championships this year. I'm excited for both our men's and women's teams; we're taking a smaller group than we have in the past but the quality is a lot higher. We're not going with a lot of numbers but we're expecting a lot of quality finishes from the men and women that we're taking to the championships."
